CHILD SAFETY
It makes a difference how and where you use
your flat panel display
As you enjoy your new product, keep these
safety tips in mind
The issue
The home theater entertainment experience is a growing trend, and larger TVs are popular
purchases. However, TVs are not always supported on the proper stands or installed
according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. We and the consumer electronics
industry are committed to making home entertainment enjoyable and safe.
TVs that are inappropriately placed on dressers, bookcases, shelves, desks, speakers, chests, or
carts may fall over and cause injury.
Tune into safety
•
•
•
•
•
•
One size of TV stand does not fit all. Use only a TV stand
rated for the weight of your TV.
Carefully read and understand all enclosed instructions
for proper use of this product.
Don’t let children climb on or play with entertainment
system furniture and TVs.
Don’t place TVs on furniture that can easily be used as
steps, such as a chest of drawers.
Remember that children can become excited while
watching a program, especially on a “larger-than-life” TV.
Make sure that you place or install the TV where it cannot
be pushed, pulled over, or knocked down.
Make sure that you route all cords and cables so that they
cannot be pulled or grabbed by curious children.
Wall mounting
If you decide to wall mount your TV, always remember:
•
One size of wall mount does not fit all. Use only a wall mount rated for the weight of
your TV and that has been recommended by this TV manufacturer, listed in this
manual, or otherwise listed by an independent laboratory as suitable for your TV.
•
Follow all instructions supplied by the TV and wall mount manufacturers.
•
If you have any doubts about your ability to safely wall mount your TV, get help from a
professional installer.
•
Make sure that the wall where you are mounting the TV is
appropriate. Some wall mounts are not designed to be
mounted to walls backed with steel studs or cinder blocks. If
you are unsure, ask a professional installer.
•
TVs can be heavy. At least two people are required for safe wall mount installation.

Read these instructions.
Keep these instructions.
Heed all warnings.
Follow all instructions.
Do not use this apparatus near water.
Clean only with dry cloth.
Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in
accordance with the manufacturer's
instructions.
Do not install near any heat sources such as
radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other
apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce
heat.
Do not defeat the safety purpose of the
polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized
plug has two blades with one wider than the
other. A grounding type plug has two blades
and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or
the third prong are provided for your safety. If
the provided plug does not fit into your outlet,
consult an electrician for replacement of the
obsolete outlet.
Protect the power cord from being walked on or
pinched particularly at plugs, convenience
receptacles, and the point where they exit from
the apparatus.
Only use attachments/accessories specified by
the manufacturer.
Use only with a cart, stand, tripod,
bracket, or table specified by the
manufacturer, or sold with the
apparatus. When a cart is used, use
S3125A
caution when moving the
cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from
tip-over.
Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms
or when unused for long periods of time.
Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
Servicing is required when the apparatus has
been damaged in any way, such as
power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid
has been spilled or objects have fallen into the
apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to
rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or
has been dropped.
15 The mains plug is the disconnecting device. The
plug must remain readily operable.
16 The apparatus with grounding-type plug is a
class I apparatus. Class I apparatus need to be
connected to earth ground wire to prevent
possible electric shock. Make sure that you
connect the class I apparatus to a mains socket
outlet with a protective earthing connection.
17 Remote control batteries should not be exposed
to excessive heat such as sunshine, fire, or the
like.
18 The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping
or splashing, and no objects filled with liquids,
such as vases, shall be placed on the apparatus.
Warnings
Electric shock hazard
To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not
remove any cover or expose the device to rain or
moisture. No user-serviceable parts are inside. Refer
servicing to qualified service technicians.
Lightning
For added protection for your device receiver
during a lightning storm, or when it is left
unattended and unused for long periods of time,
unplug it from the power outlet and disconnect any
antenna or cable system. This helps prevent
property damage and personal injury from
lightning and power line surges.
Power lines
An outside antenna system should not be located in
the vicinity of overhead power lines or other
electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall
into such power lines or circuits. When installing an
outside antenna system, extreme care should be
taken to keep from touching such power lines or
circuits as contact with them might be fatal.
Handling the LCD panel
• Your TV’s screen is made of glass. Do not drop
your TV or hit, jolt, or press hard against the LCD
panel. If the screen breaks, be careful of broken
glass.
• If the LCD panel is broken, make absolutely sure
that you do not touch the liquid in the panel. This
may cause skin inflammation.
• If the liquid gets in your mouth, immediately
gargle, rinse, and consult with your doctor. Also, if
the liquid gets in your eyes or touches your skin,
consult with your doctor after rinsing for at least
15 minutes or longer in clean water.
Replacement parts
When replacement parts are required, make sure
that the service technician uses replacement parts
specified by the manufacturer that have the same
characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized
substitutions may result in fire, electric shock,
personal injury, or other hazards.
Safety check
After completing any service or repair to this device,
ask the service technician to perform routine safety
checks to determine that your TV is in correct
operating condition.

Note to CATV system installer
Power source
Operate your TV only from the type of power source
indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure
of the type of power supplied to your home, consult
an electrician or your local power company.
Cautions
Article 820 of the National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA No. 40 provides guidance for correct
grounding. Specifically, it states that the cable
ground must be connected to the grounding
system of the building as close to the point of cable
entry as practical.
Condensation
Damage requiring service
Unplug this TV from the power outlet and refer
servicing to qualified service personnel under the
following conditions:
• When the power supply cord or plug is damaged
or frayed.
• If liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen
into your TV.
• If your TV has been exposed to rain or water.
• If your TV does not operate normally by following
the operating instructions. Adjust only those
controls that are covered by the operating
instructions because incorrect adjustment of
other controls may result in damage and will
often require extensive work by a qualified
technician to restore your TV to its normal
operation.
• If your TV has been dropped or damaged in any
way.
• When your TV exhibits a distinct change in
performance.
Outdoor antenna grounding
If an outside antenna or cable system is connected
to your TV, make sure that the antenna or cable
system is grounded to provide some protection
against voltage surges and built-up static charges.
Article 810 of the National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA No. 70, provides information with
respect to correct grounding of the mast and
supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire
to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding
conductors, location of the antenna-discharge unit,
connection to grounding electrodes, and
requirements for the grounding electrode.
Moisture will form on the TV if the TV is brought
from cool surroundings into a warm room or if the
temperature of the room rises suddenly. When this
happens, the TV's performance may be impaired. To
prevent this, let the TV stand in its new
surroundings for about an hour before switching it
on, or make sure that the room temperature rises
gradually.
Condensation may also form during the summer if
the TV is exposed to the breeze from an air
conditioner. In such cases, change the location of
the TV.
Mobile telephone warning
To avoid interference with your TV picture and
sound, operating problems, or even damage, keep
your cordless and cellular telephones away from
the TV.
End of life directives
Your TV contains tin-lead solder and a fluorescent
lamp containing a small amount of mercury.
Disposal of these materials may be regulated for
environmental reasons. Your TV also contains
material that can be recycled and reused. For
disposal or recycling information, contact your local
authorities or the Electronic Industries Alliance at
www.eia.org to find a recycler in your area.
Non-active pixels
The LCD panel contains almost 3 million thin film
transistors, which provide exceptionally sharp video
quality. Occasionally, a few non-active pixels may
appear on the screen as a fixed blue, green, or red
point. These non-active pixels do not adversely
affect the performance of your TV, and are not
considered defects.

To program a universal remote control:
1 Find the code for your universal remote control
by identifying its model (or your set-top box’s
remote control manufacturer and model) on the
charts below, then making note of the
numbered code below it. You will use the
numbered code to program your remote control
to work with your Insignia TV.

Maintaining
Problem
Horizontal dotted line
• Do not use your TV in areas that are too hot or too
cold, because the cabinet may warp or the screen
may malfunction. Your TV works best in
temperatures that are comfortable to you.
• Storage temperatures are 32° to 122°F (0° to 50°C).
• Working temperatures are 41° to 104°F (5° to
40°C).
• Do not place your TV in direct sunlight or near a
heat source.
“Ghost” or double image
Remote control does not work
Cleaning the TV cabinet
Clean the cabinet with a soft, lint-free cloth. If the
cabinet is especially dirty, moisten a soft, lint-free
cloth in a weak detergent solution, squeeze the
excess moisture from the cloth, then wipe the
screen or cabinet with the cloth. Use a clean cloth to
dry the screen or cabinet.

Solution
• Make sure that the power cord is
correctly connected to your TV and
a power outlet.
• Unplug the power cord, wait 60
seconds, then plug the cord back in
and turn on your TV.
• Make sure that Audio Only option
is set to Off. For more information,
see “Playing TV audio only” on
page 19.
• Make sure that the video cables are
connected securely to the back of
your TV.
• Adjust the contrast and brightness.
• Make sure that the correct video
mode is selected.
• Make sure that the incoming signal
is compatible.
• Make sure the antenna is
connected correctly.
• Check the closed caption settings.
Some TEXT modes can block the
screen.
• Increase the volume.
• Make sure that the sound is not
muted.
• Make sure that the correct audio
mode is selected.
• Adjust the contrast, color, and
brightness settings.
• Make sure that the room is not too
bright. Light reflecting off the
screen can make the picture
difficult to see.
• If an S-VHS camera or a camcorder
is connected while another
connected device is turned on, the
picture may be poor. Turn off one or
more devices.
After images appear
Picture has a few bright or dark dots
www.insigniaproducts.com
Solution
• Your TV may be too close to another
electrical device, such as a hair
dryer or neon light. Turn off the
device or move your TV.
• This may be caused by obstructions
to the antenna, such as high-rise
buildings or hills. Use of a highly
directional antenna may improve
the picture quality.
• Press TV (not the color button)
• Replace the batteries. Make sure
that the + and – symbols on the
batteries align with the + and –
symbols in the battery
compartment.
• Clean the remote sensor on the
front of your TV.
• Bright or fluorescent lighting may
interfere with the remote control
signal. Turn off the light or move
your TV.
• Make sure that the A/V and
antenna cables are connected
correctly and securely.
• Make sure that you have selected
the correct VGA mode on your
computer.
• Adjust the balance in the Audio
menu.
• Make sure that the Button Lock
option is set to Off. For more
information, see “Locking control
buttons” on page 26.
• Unplug the power cord, wait a few
seconds, then plug the cord back in
and turn on your TV.
• Do not display a still image, such as
a logo, game, or computer image,
for an extended period of time. This
can cause a permanent after-image
to be burned into the screen. This
type of damage is not covered by
your warranty.
• A few bright or dark dots on an LCD
screen is normal. It does not affect
the operation of this TV.
